Guess The Mystery Thing: Flowery Orange Baubles

Have you ever played along with my Guess the Mystery Thing challenge? (It's my guessing-game giveaway, it really makes me happy, and everyone is invited.) Ready for this week's mystery? Behold this multi-layered flower necklace:

The flowers also look cute as hair ornaments and bag embellishments.

The mystery: what the heck is that interesting orange stuff? Be as specific as possible for the win.

Hint: it's not from a hardware store. (Lately, a few of my readers say they never
shop in hardware stores, and want me to limit my Mystery Things to girlie stuff. Noooo!
I can't stop making hardware upcycles! They are so much fun, and I am
constantly in a home improvement store or electrical
warehouse or something macho of that nature. ButI will make you this pledge. For the rest of 2012, no Mystery Thing shall be derived from anything even remotely testosterone adjacent.)First person to guess correctly will receive a fabulous prize! (Namely, your choice of the necklace or two flower hair baubles.)

How it works: leave your guess in the comments. There'll be two winners:
first correct guess and a random winner. That's right, I
said random winner - so even if you don't know (or think
someone else already got it), enter anyway, you could still
win. If your guess is funny, it might make my Most
Creative Honor Roll.

That is the non stick, shelf liner material, in orange. I'm mostly sure of it.

The bit of sheen it has is what tipped me over from guessing that it was one of those 'dry' sponges, you know, the ones which you soak in water and they grow twice their size. Yeah, that. Not that it's my guess anymore, but that's what I leaped to when I first saw.

I think someone left some flip flips with orange flowers on them OUTSIDE the hardware store because they had to change into boots and you FOUND THEM, picked them up and brought them home. THUS, the rule that it is not from a hardware store still applies....

I definitely think its those bath tub stickers used to prevent slipping. I actually use them in my sneaker orthopedics to keep my feet from sliding around! lol - I love the filigree item, what is that made of? fairy lace? or dragonfly wings? - kitty.demeo@gmail.com

This is my first time to your site Mich L., it is wonderful. I have several ideas that I am going to make for Christmas. Thanks a bunch. Oh, are you on Pintrest? I will check you out of Facebook. God Bless from the Midwest...Mary K. mehkissel@aol.com
